Really, you can only point to four significant NBA players from Penn State in the last half-century, all of them journeymen: Calvin Booth, John Amaechi, Frank Brickowski and Bob Weiss.[/quote]

Assuming Tim’s sprained ankle doesn’t keep him out of the lineup, tomorrow’s game against the Lakers should mark the beginning of some significant Penn State NBA milestones for him.

At 58 games played, he’s currently tied with John Barr and Hershel Baltimore for 6th place on the games played list. The Laker game will tie him with Whitey Van Nieda for 5th behind the aforementioned four guys (next up would be Amaechi who, at 294 games, is several seasons out of reach).

At his current scoring pace, he’ll need two games to catch John Barr for sixth on the all-time scoring list (he trails Barr by 21 points).

Whitey Von Nieda would then be the only guy between Frazier and the aforementioned four on the scoring list and Tim should get him in 3-4 games (the Pelicans have four games remaining in the season for Tim to pick up the 40 points he needs to pass Whitey)
